UNSPSC 50552303: Canned or jarred non GMO white heart breadfruit

The variety of non GMO breadfruit known as non GMO white heart breadfruit that has been canned or jarred for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50552303 Canned or jarred non-GMO white heart breadfruit, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct alignment with recent state and local solicitations; the code nominally specifies a single processed fruit product, yet the posted opportunities under this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service commodities for correctional facilities, schools, and state health agencies. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, independent school districts, county school systems, and municipal boards of education across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Illinois. State and local governments buy canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, pears, and specialty preserved fruits—for institutional food service, principally in school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, typically as components of larger commodity or fresh-produce procurements rather than as standalone line items.

Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases delivered in five truckloads to Salem) with bids due July 31, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST; the previous award to Robbins Sales in June 2026 stood at $21.84 per case, and ODOC applies a combined 10% preference (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders). Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center with bids due July 13, 2026; the prior-period historical value was $1.5 million for September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), South (Texas, Georgia), and Northeast (Connecticut), with school districts representing the largest cluster of recent buyers; no activity under this code appears in the Midwest or Mid-Atlantic beyond Illinois and Connecticut. The source shows canned fruit procurement is fragmented across state correctional systems, state health agencies, and school nutrition programs operating under cooperative purchasing arrangements and traditional IFB/RFP methods, with firm pricing, FOB-destination delivery, and buy-American or domestic-preference provisions standard across most opportunities.
